The identifier alcoru2mpv200916md refers to a firmware revision or hardware datasheet for a USB flash drive controller chip manufactured by Alcor Micro Corporation.
In the hobbyist and repair community, tools like this were often used in reverse. Consumers who purchased "fake" drives (e.g., a 16GB drive that was actually a hacked 2GB drive) would use the MPTool to "low-level format" the drive, resetting it to its true physical capacity. alcoru2mpv200916md new
